Twenty years later Castle Pines is home, once again
Tyson Shelley moved to Castle Pines in 1992 with his parents and four siblings. He graduated from Douglas County High School in 2000 and then set out to explore the world. He returned to Castle Pines in late 2019 with his wife, Brett, and their daughters, Dahlia (11), Hazel (7) and Remi (3) after the perfect job came calling. He is thrilled to be back to raise his daughters in the place that he will always call home.

In late 2019, Tyson Shelley returned to Castle Pines after nearly 20 years. Together with his wife and three daughters, he came back to the place he will always call home. It happened after a perfectly matched job opportunity in Denver came calling, and he was hired to lead multilingual content management on a global scale with Zoom.
Rewind to 1992. The Shelley family of six moved from Arizona to a brand new home in Castle Pines on Warwick Place; Tyson was just 10 years old.
“The view went off into Daniels Park, into the pine trees and off on the horizon,” said Tyson.
He would play for hours at a time with his dog, Patch, in the dirt field as well as hit golf balls into the distance and then collect and repeat again and again.
Being a kid in the early years of Castle Pines gave way to Tyson exploring “the woods” with
friends, riding bikes everywhere, and getting into plenty of mischief with his big brother, Maury. He even had the opportunity to play a few rounds at the then-newly-built Sanctuary golf course with his dad, Craig, who worked for RE/MAX. “As a kid, I had zero clue how special that was,” he said.
As a teen, Tyson worked at the Vans and Bass stores at the Outlets at Castle Rock, mowed
a lot of neighborhood lawns, and developed a passion for the outdoors and trying new things. Today, Tyson’s hobbies are indicative of that and include rock climbing, woodworking, hunting, fly fishing, music recording, playing the guitar and, namely, photography.

Tyson’s days always started at his church, The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 31 Tyson’s mom, Jessie, drove Tyson and his
siblings to seminary each morning at 5:30 a.m.
for years. “My mom is a saint,” he laughed.
